First and foremost, we would like to honor the late Dr. Bradford McGuire, Jr. We lost Brad in a tragic accident on June 15. Brad was a recent graduate of our program. He was well loved by everyone he met and had a unique ability to bring the most positive perspective to even the most trying times in our ED. We want to thank our Florida EM family for their support during our time of grief.

As one academic year closed and another began, we have many accomplishments to celebrate. Dr. Moji Hassan, PGY-3, was awarded the Dr. Louis Ling Resident Scholarship Award at CORD22. Dr. Jeanne Rabalais, PGY-2, was the winner of the Resident Haiku Competition at the Clinical Decision Making in Emergency Medicine conference. Dr. Grant Barker, recent graduate, received the UF College of Medicine Excellence in Student Education Award; Dr. Nneka Azih, recent graduate, was awarded the Leon L. Haley Jr. Leadership Award for Inclusive Excellence; and Dr. Kasi Hartman, recent graduate, was awarded the UF Department of EM Outstanding Resident Teacher Award.

We would also like to recognize Drs. Rick Courtney, Lexi Sughroue, Ray Hakh, Alex Derr, and Eric Lakey, who were departmental award winners. Our faculty are also doing amazing things. Dr. Petra Duran-Gehring was awarded the ACEP National EM Faculty Teaching Award and Dr. Lexie Mannix was awarded the ACEP National EM Junior Faculty Teaching Award.

We look forward to an exciting fall here at Jax EM as our interns get settled in and we begin recruiting our next class. Until next time! ■
